<MBBggg!MBag^gBg| w m The Lexington Dispatch 6 Burned April 25th; rebuilt July \ 19,1894. o G. M. HARM AN. Editor and Publisher. 1 LEXINGTON. S. C., i WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 5. 1900. t tup PftiniTV CAID o i nc. buun s i i'mil* We desire to call the attention of ^ our people to the fact that the time for ^ holding the fourth annual fair of the Lexington County Fair Association is drawing near at hand and what is to be done to make it such a suecess as will r< fleet credit upon the ( industrial life cf tho county, must be j done at oDce. There remains do time to be lost in inertness and idlecess. E*ch person in the county who has arrived at the age of discresion can contribute something to wards its success in various ways. Next in importance to preparing ex hibits for the fair i9 to talk the exhibition up. We should allow no opportunity to pass unimproved. We should go farther and make cpportu- , Lities to whoop up the fair so that it will be well advertised from one end of the county to the other. .All that is needed is for each one to put his shoulder to the wheel and all push together. Then again those who can possibly do so, and who is there among us that can Dot, should prepare some specimen of tbo products of the farm, the stock jard, tbe workshop, the manufactories, the house hold and needle and fancy woik departments, in fact of everything made on the farm or in the vaiious departments cf industrial activity. Lexington county can prepare a highly credit * able exhibit and the people owe it to themselves and their county to see that such an exhibit is made. Let us commence work for tbe euccessif tbe fair at once. Along this liue we ceDDot possibly give too much lime, and the more we give the greater the euccess. We have been informed that the outlook for the success of the fair is very encouraging and tbe effieers and stockholders are wniVincr bard in incrpftftfi ihe in * 7 ^ terest in it. New attractions are iD contemplation and improvements will he made to tbe grounds and build * ing8 which will add to the comfort and convenience of visitors. These fairs should be made occasions for the reunion of families, friends and neighbors, and thus bring tbe people in closer touch with each other that they may become better acquainted and understand the wants and necessities of one another. Au other good result of tle^e annual gatherings will be the opportunity given for the interchange of experi ences in experimental agricultural and industrial pursuits and by avoiding the failures of the one and adopting the successes of the other, be of mutual bemfit to all. Let the whole of Lexington county visit the fourth annual fair of the Association. A WONDERFUL ACROBATIC FEAT. The political kaleidoscope has made another revolution and shows 'he Columbia State in a back action double somersault. Since the enactment of the dispensary law up to a recent issue, that paper has notori ously encouraged men to disregard the law :\nd its sympathies were with tb9 b'iud tigf rs. Iu every conceivable way, both in and out of season, the State has lent its iifljence to obstruct the enforcement of the law and to create a sympathy for those charged with its violation. Any fair minded reader of that pRper, whether favoring cr opposing the law, will readily admit the correctness of ibis statement. Bu*. now, in order to score a point against Governor MVSw<eney the State haR reversed its position and is rakiDg the Hind tiger men in {.e'l'ril and the Governor ? ? 1 it in particular because meso siguuess iniquities cxint6 in Columbia and Charleston. L'x?k at the position tf the State from any standpoint one may, it is painfully awkward. The State will baldly admit that the en forceraent of the dispensary law calls for an armed constabulary, bloodshed and .invading the sanctity of the private citizen, else it would be going back upon its established record; ye! the State practically blames Governor McSweeuey for not adopting these harsh measures, when it says t'oat 4itbe law was better enforced" under ' the system of Winchester rifles, blood abed and the invasion cf private res idences, "than it is now," under the wise and peaceful policy of the pres i ent Governor. < The gist of the wbolo matter is * that of all the acts of Governor Me- i Sweeney, as chief executive of the ' SIaAe, absolutely no fl ;w could be f found by bis political opponents tx f cept this charge of his alleged non forcement of the dispensary law in Charleston. It i3 somewhat remark \ able that the men who are dow mak- ] j <g use of this charge have f tiled to 1 p-oduce any evidence whatever in i ^ t ?i i t. ... *i. 8 ipport Ul IUO J.b in nutlj- ^ ing but a bald assertion unsupported t b; either fact or evidence. We submit that the records will show thai the law it) enforce 3 as well now a* c u ider the administration of any of 1 bis predecessors, 1 \ ? UVE HIM A SWEEPING MAJORITY. Ou the 11 h instant the voters of bis State will be called upon to deide who shall be their Governor f? r be nrxt two years. Messrs. Gary and Patterson, bavDg been defeated for this office in be first primary, the choice now ies between Governor McSweeney ind Colonel James A. Hoyt. Gary and Patterson are both high nontlomon rkf fthilitv ftrwl ful VUVU v* ure and either cf them, had he ie ;eived votes enough, would have nade a Gjvernor that any people ivould bavo been proud of. Whether :heir candidacy at the time was wise jr unwise matters not now. They buve been defeated fairly and they retire to the shades of private !:f? iD the good graces cf their frier.ds. As i logical result their vote should go to McSweeney becauBe a large majjrity of their euppoitcrs are friends of the dispensary, for which the Gov ernor now stands atone. Governor McSweeney asks the suffrage of his fellow citizens because he has given the State a clean bueinesslike administration, that has with but comparatively few exceptions, " " & If * given general satisfaction to the peo pie of the State, and there i3 no logical reason why he should be retired to mak6 room for another who aspires to be Governor. Ou the liquor question Governor MeSweency represents the views of a large niBj >rity of the people of the State and it is the duty of every one who believes that the dispensary is the best system of controlling the sale of intoxicating bquors to sopport him at the p ;lls ou the 11th insU with their votes. He has practically won the bittle but the danger lies in the over coi fideuce of the friends of the disponsary and this may endanger his nomination. Ltt us make certain doubly certain by turning out to a man on the 11th and voting for McSweeney. The larger the majority the greater the victory. THE PEOPLE S CHOICE. il grcaw UC'tj id Ut'iu^ oaiu auuui Charleston's vote being given to Mc Sweeney at the first primary and from tbi3 it is argued that he must be in league with the keepers ol blind tigers in that city. This it the kind of nonsense out. of which it is hoped to make political capital favorable to the candidacy of Col Hoyt. Charleston is Governor Mc Sweeney's nativo city. His boyhood and young manhood days were spenl there working at his trade. Is ther? anything remaikable in a candidate cirryiDg bis own county, especially so when the rank and file of labor from whence he sprang, took an ac tive and effective interest in his be half? If there is, then with ever gaeater force can it be argued thai because Colonel Hoyt carried Green ville, bis adopted county, and Colum bia, bis old place of residence, h< must be in league with the moon shiners and blind tigers of thai county and city. H jd. Frank Gary carried bis hom* county as did Mr. Patterson bis, yel we hear not a word about tbem beiDg in league with the blind tigers oi their county. All this hue aod cry is only a des pet ate effort of desperate politicians to defeat M B McSweeney, the Peo pie's Choice for Governor. The Result from Other Counties. Col. Robert Aldrich has been drfoated for the Senate from Barnwell. Cd. Geo. S. Mower was reelected f a VI ,rinf a f r.\r?\ IU IUU UCliaiC llVUi M'.*i / Jj ? HU' out opposition. Col D. S H.' tidcrpOD is re turned to the Senate from A k*n. Thos. F. Brantley defeate CoDDor o the SeDate from 0 angeburg, and ltibert L'de, J. B McLrucblin, A.H. Moss and W 0. Tat urn are elected to the House. B L. C?ugbmao defeated J B Jones for the Senate fiom Saluda by 4; in jority. Messrs. E. S. Blease aod J. W. Seigler are the members to the House. C. C. Featherstoue, E q, has opened headquarters in Cdnmba, from which CJ. IIo)ts campaign will be conducted. Ho is of tie opinion that Cvl. Hoyt's chances for Governor sre good and he predicts that if the friends of prohibition "kuew Col Hoyl's strength and will jo to work be* (Hoyt), will be our next Governor." Eastern manufacturers of cotton *oods are feeling the < fleets of tbe listurbauee in China and it is probable that they will shut down ihtir uills until order is restored there rne South is scarcely feeling the effects and her mills are running on ull time. G> to the polls on the lith and *ote for the men of your cl oioe.

The National IVople'a Party has lomiuaud Ad^li Stevenson for Vi^e \t-sideut in the p'ace t f Charles A L'uwue. fipa's candidates for <. tti lal situation Two l>f*i long Democrats and one Republican crossed over tbe river it? the same boat but with a d:fi.vrent passport. One of the Democrats has flio uotiirin r\f brmtvincr V?e/virri Daring the pgitujo of tivtj uegro ! military couip.iuies in Cjlumbia last Monday, two of whom were visitors, the borse of two young "white men became frightened at the brass band and got beyond the control of its diiver. X: pluDged into the crowd of negroes, which had congregated and blocked the drive in the State house grounds, and knocked several persons down. This so enraged the black soldiers that some of them broke ranks and pursued the young men with fixed bayonets. For a time a race war was imminant but the counsels of cooler heads prevailed and order was soon restored. As a result of the incipient riot Governor McSweeney, it is said, will disband the refractory malitia. One of our subscribers recently asked us why we did not say something good for Col. Hoyt. We replied that we could not say anything bad about him, we were too busy fighting for McSweeney, as his views are more in accord with ours. For the same reason, we suppose, the papers favorable to Hoyt. say nothing good of McSweeney. Bishop Turner, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, whose home is in Georgia, has come out strongly for Bryan and urges his race to support him in preference to McKicley because the Southern Democrats were better and siDcerer friends to the colored race than the Republicans of the North were. There r.re no new developments in the China situation. There has been no pitched battles since the entry of aliied armies into IVkin. Gon. CbafTee, Commander of the American forces in China is prepruiDgto winter his troops there and reports all quiet within the walls of Pckin. The returns of the recent primary I _ election show that the text Legisla ture wiil be fivorable to the dispensary by a large majority. This settles the whiskey question for two ; years at least and should do so for years to come. The Columbia Evening Record is r authority for the statement that Hon. , Frank B Gary has written Governor McSweeney a letter congratulating I him on his splendid run in the first primary and offering his support in the seco; d. Capt. C. 0 Little formerly As , sistant Supt. of the Columbia, New? berry and Laurens railroad, died iD . Columbia yesterday. The Charleston Post thinks McSweeney goes into the second print iry with a practical assurance of ^ success. A Card to the Voters. 1 I greatly appreciate the handsome - vote given me by my friends in the t first p.'imary. It being impossible to canvass the whole county before 1 the Urh ics*., I tate this method of t asking the support of citizens of the \ county in the next primary, guarF anteeing faithful and honest service if I am reelected. The .committee - of the Grand Jury Monday < x irnined J ray books and found even thing correct as the below statement will show: Jasper S. Derrick. L xi.-igtor, S. C. This is to certify that we have carefully examined the book3, ac counts, and cash account of Treasurer I J.

Vegetation was burned up and the crops are too far gone to be revived. Not more than half crops can be had, though the price is looking upward. The First National Bank of Batesburg is preparing to open its doors and in a few days will begin business. The Batesburg Collegiate Inst itute began its fall session yesterday. The faculty is Prof. Louis C Perry, A.M. Priucipal, with Prof. R. F. Watson, 1st Assistant; Miss Robbie P. "Wake Held, 21 Assistant; Miss Blanche Evelyn Jones, 3rd Assistant: Miss Catharine Gaioey, music. Prof. Perry with Misses Wakefield, Jones aod Gainey taught here successfully last vear. Prof. Watson i3 a recent graduate of Fermau Uuiver.-iiy and this is bis first venture in teaching. Business in town, though not what our people wish, is still fairly good and cotton is coming in rapidly. Politics is quiet, though a lively inteiest is felt in the few remaining candidates on the State and county tickets. Our people are thorough Democrats and with us the mej >rity rules in fact, and those already elected will receive the united support of all our people, and those who are so fortunate as to be tne chosen ones next Tuesday will receive the same consideration. D. P. Hartley, President of the new national bark, has been quite sick for some lime but we trus , he wiii soon be able to resume bis duties at the head of our financial enterprise so important t:o the town. Occasional. Clippings. All that McSweeney need fear is l\- . L L_ _ i_ 1 i I turn Lilts intruua iu&y utuuixie citicivaa from over confidence. The campaign liar usually gets in his choicest work between prima!ies. Let the public beware of him. Be lieve no eleventh hour charges. If aDythiDg damaging to a candidate could I e provtr, U would have been brought out earlier in the game. For years it has beeD the custom, in South Carolina to endorse an ac cept&ble administration. Such being the case and believing McSweemy fully entitled to that endorsement which would again put him in the gubernatorial chair, we have honestly supported bim with no regrets. He has been faithful and impartial iu <-jcecuting the laws of our State; he has cau o 1 i ot one drop of innocent blocd to be shed; he has pursued a firm, decisive course, which woiked without frictioD; he has exercised the executive clemency wi hout fear, favor, aff ctiou, or hop) of riward in such way as to challenge tho admiration of opponent?; and he has left ;ao blot on his trail in all his wo: is. The handsome vote given him in Marlboio on the 28.h proves the correctness of our views and the justice of his claims ?Marlboro Djimcrat. In tho Second Race. The Executive C ;mmittee, after the tabulation, ordered a second primary ! Septtmber Ilth nex', between the following candidate : T. H.

For County Commissioners, between Geo H Rood, A. L Hook, Geo. A Rammer and Isaiah HallmaD, two of whom must be voted for. It is the duty of every citizen to turn out and vote in this election as the tfiioers to be elected are important, having the tinancial affairs of the county in charge. *. .?. Card of Thanks.
